view files in PDF, ODF (feature request) #3430

Open edmundlaugasson opened 5 years ago

edmundlaugasson commented 5 years ago

Would propose to view files in /keybase folders in formats of PDF - Portable Document Format, ODF - OpenDocument directly in Keybase (in all platforms) as these are open formats and widely used. Currently TXT-files already can be viewed - very good. HTML and other markup language files also but these are broken (character encoding not properly detected).

What's wrong with encoding for HTML? Could you share an example?

edmundlaugasson commented 5 years ago

Here all works because UTF8: estonian-characters-utf8

...but here does not because of Estonian native character encoding: estonian-characters-iso8859-15 You may say that use UTF8 then but sounds like regardless of defined charset (does not render the HTML-file itself), only UTF8 works. As soon as any other charset then probably not. Used 64-bit Debian version:

$ keybase version
Client:  4.1.0-20190612201656+952fee6c59
Service: 4.1.0-20190612201656+952fee6c59
